EDDYSTONE, Pennsylvania (CBS) – Delaware County is stepping up efforts to keep seniors safe in the intense heat. Wind chill temperatures in the Philadelphia region reached 100 degrees on Wednesday, ahead of a severe storm risk overnight.
County leaders announced plans Wednesday to give away 100 free fans to seniors in need.
The fans, donated by PECO, are distributed through the Delaware County Senior Citizen Services Office (COSA).
Delaware County residents age 60 and older can pick up a free ventilator with ID at one of these eight COSA-funded senior centers.
